Some people may not know what off-the-grid or off-grid means, so here it is --- The term off-the-grid or off-grid refers to living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on one or more public utilities.

Off-grid living is no longer a one room log cabin in the woods. It's energy independency. You don't have to rely on utility companies, you create your own power. Today, there are more than 180,000 off-grid homes in the US.

This
week has been go, go, go and we didn’t even get anything done on the
house.Here is a quick recap of the
week... on top of the normal work and home stuff there were three trips to Les Schwab
(one rock and two nails), ballet dress rehearsal and ballet performance...

I just found your website through a group on Facebook. I officially LOVE your blog, and I love what you're doing! I grew up regularly visiting Mt Rainer and the surrounding areas, so I can't help but get excited when I see all of your wonderful stories and images. I couldn't be a hard-core off-the-grid kind of person because I like a few modern technologies, so I also appreciate that you still make trips to the store for Ben and Jerry's, and you use your car. This is a really cool blog!

Welcome

Have you ever dreamed of buying some property somewhere, to live a simpler, more sustainable life? We did, and we were crazy enough to do it.

Our family has chosen to live off-grid. We have purchased 22 acres in the foot hills of the Cascade Mountain Range in the Great Pacific Northwest. Our property is off-grid meaning we have no public utilities whatsoever.

With this blog we will let you know about our experiences in building our home off-grid and how the progress of that is going along with what off-grid living is like for us.
--- Enjoy!
